The NS Iona is an offshore tug / supply ship registered in the Cayman Islands at George Town, and built in 2014. Tied up at Aberdeen it is presumably, like many of the vessels we are passing on our way out of Aberdeen harbour, servicing the North Sea Oil and Gas industry which, despite sentiment turning more and more strongly against fossil fuels, is still clinging on and providing jobs here in 2018. How much longer can they hold out ?
